In the title heteronuclear Zn(II)-Ho(III) complex (systematic name: {μ-6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato-1κ(4)O(1),O(1'),O(6),O(6'):2κ(4)O(1),N,N',O(1'))-μ-nitrato-1:2κ(2)O:O'-dinitrato-1κ(4)O,O'-holmium(III)zinc(II)), [HoZn(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)], with the hexa-dentate Schiff base compartmental ligand N,N'-bis-(3-methoxy-salicyl-idene)ethyl-ened...

Trinuclear cyclopentadienylniobium carbonyls are of interest since Cp3Nb3(CO)7 (Cp=eta5-C5H5) is a stable molecule having a unique face-bridging carbonyl group formally donating six electrons to the Nb3 triangle through one Nb-C sigma-bond and two orthogonal pi-bonds. In this connection, the molecules Cp3Nb3(CO)n (n=9, 8, 7, 6) have been examined by density functional theory. The saturated deri...

A comprehensive analysis of interfacial water molecules in the structures of 109 unique protein-DNA complexes is presented together with a new view on their role in protein-DNA recognition. Location of interfacial water molecules as reported in the crystal structures and as emerging from a series of molecular dynamics studies on protein-DNA complexes with explicit solvent and counterions, was a...

The monodeprotonated Schiff base ligand in the title compound, [Sn(CH(3))(C(14)H(19)N(4)S)Cl(2)], N,N',S-chelates to the Sn atom, which is six-coordinated in an octa-hedral environment. The three coordinating atoms along with the methyl C atom comprise a square plane, above and below which are positioned the Cl atoms. The amino group is a hydrogen-bond donor to a Cl atom of an adjacent mol-ecul...

In the title complex, [Zn(C(10)H(6)N(3)O(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)], the Zn(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry by two N atoms from two 2-(pyridin-4-yl)pyrimidine-5-carboxyl-ate ligands and four water mol-ecules. In the symmetry-unique part of the mol-ecule, the pyridine and pyrimidine rings form a dihedral angle of 7.0 (1)°. In the crystal...

The Sn atom in the title compound, [Sn(C(3)H(6)NO)Cl(3)(CH(4)N(2)O)], is octa-hedrally coordinated within a CCl(3)NO donor set provided by a chelating amido-ethyl ligand (C and O), a urea-O atom and three facially arranged Cl atoms. Systematic variations in the Sn-Cl bond distances are correlated with the relative trans influence exerted by the C and carbonyl-O atoms. The three-dimensional crys...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [RuCl(2)(C(13)H(9)N(3))(CO)(2)], consists of four crystallographically independent Ru(II) complexes. Each Ru(II) atom is in a distorted octa-hedral environment coordinated by two carbonyl ligands, two Cl atoms and a chelating 2-(2-pyrid-yl)-1,8-naphthyridine (pynp) ligand. The carbonyl ligands are cis to each other, while the Cl atoms are trans. Relati...

The mol-ecule of accanthomine A, C(15)H(13)N(5), is approximately planar, with the indolyl fused-ring and the pyrimidyl ring being twisted by 31.7 (1)° The amino group of the five-membered ring is an intramolecular hydrogen-bond donor to a nitro-gen acceptor of the pyrimide ring. The amino group of the pyrimide ring is a hydrogen-bond donor to the N atoms of adjacent mol-ecules. These hydrogen-...

In the title compound, C(17)H(16)N(2)O(3), the seven-membered diazepine ring adopts a boat conformation with the hy-droxy-substituted C atom at the prow and fused benzene ring C atoms at the stern. The phenyl substituent occupies an equatorial position. The amino group of the ring system is a hydrogen-bond donor to the oxo O atom of an inversion-related mol-ecule, and the hy-droxy group is a hy...
